Does any other fatties notice when squatting with a belt, the fat that squishes out below the belt make it a little more difficult to get to depth when compared to without a belt? Or maybe I'm just wearing it wrong?

I kinda noticed that when I was wearing it "tilted", my fat did squish out.... After I lost a little weight, I'm wearing it "around" my fat tire. So it only squishes the excess out over the top and bottom.

My belt is squishing it up, so it makes it look like I have a bigger gut than when I have the belt off.

b) but so am i... i definitely don't like the way a belt feels squishing my flab, but this thread has inspired me to try one of these things. Prob starting w/ a Harbinger 4" velcro (for a whopping investment of $25).

c) OP, i don't want to rain on your parade or dissuade you from continued execution on the program, but your body composition numbers are pretty unlikely unless you're 6' 6" +. This is especially true if you are in fact "old". 166lbs LBM -> 184lbs LBM in 6 weeks would be 3 lbs of muscle/tendon/bone a week. That's a LOT for someone that didn't start out REALLY unmuscled. On the other hand, if you're still going up 10lbs a workout w/ no problem at 255lbs work sets this isn't the time to worry about such things.
